I like top lane, but which assasins are useful there?

I main top, but like to blow people up. Which champs should I play? I know that Akali ,Ryze , and Irelia can do it, but what about any others? I tried akali and enjoyed her. Also, should I get summoner 4 summoner 12 , summoner 4 summoner 14 , or something else? Thanks! (I am a lvl 27 summoner... about to be lvl 28) EDIT: I was a DariusDarius main, just gotta get back into the tank groove. Was also looking at NautilusNautilus

Assassins generally aren't that good in toplane. Most toolmakers are tanks or bruisers or juggernauts. AKA, hard time to assassinate, and in some cases, it'll probably be the other way around and they'll kick your ass because they are better at dueling.

Assassin's don't do well in top because a lot of tanks are played there and assassin's are expected to roam to get ahead and create map pressure, which is harder to do top. But you don't need "a top lane" assassin as you can play any champion any where.

Talon is a good top laner, really good at cheesing his passive on melee champions

I have heard that he is not a good top laner, as he is melee as well as juggernauts, and percent armor pen is not something you build... as far as passive stacks, I agree, as he can get up close, w-q-w-aa, and get that dmg, but he is squishy. I do like Talon though...

From my experience, assassins don't do well in Toplane (Been a Toplane main ever since I started playing League, while occasionally dabbling in the other roles here and there) so I wouldn't know what advice to give you, other than just continue to play Darius and other Bruisers/Juggernauts or tanky champs, really.

Quinn is absolutely beastly right now. Does the whole assassin thing. And wins toplane by default because she's ranged with a back-away dash that does damage.
